VERGIL ORTIZ JR., Welterweight Contender: "This is going to be an explosive and very entertaining fight. This is my people and I don't want them wasting their money on an average fight. This isn't going to be an average fight, this is going to be a fight where two Mexicans warriors are going to go at it until the very end and give it all we got. I have a lot of respect for Orozco; he only has one loss and he is definitely still in his prime with 31-years-old. He is a great fighter." 
ANTONIO OROZCO, Welterweight Contender: "We are looking for a fight to get people talking once again. This is the type of solid fights I like, and I don't want to disappoint the fans. I want to win and I'm going to push myself to win. Vergil Ortiz has made a name for himself, he is a tremendous fighter, he has built a reputation and I'm here to prove that I still have it. This is going to be a great fight." 
JOSHUA FRANCO, NABF & WBA International Bantamweight Champion: "I had a good training camp, I'm feeling really strong for the fight, so expect something big. I'm expecting a tough fight for as long as it lasts, and I feel like I'm going to knock him out this time." 
OSCAR NEGRETE, Bantamweight Contender: "I feel very happy and anxious; I already want to hear the bell ringing. I've been preparing really hard and I'm happy to be given the opportunity to fight for what is mine. God put me here, and this is the opportunity to get my titles back, which is what I'm going to do this Saturday." HECTOR TANAJARA JR., WBC USNBC Lightweight Champion: "I have a tough opponent, he has fought some tough boxers in the past, so I'm expecting a good fight on Saturday. I've been training really hard and the outcome has been great, so I'm looking to put up a good show for Texas and get the win." TRAVELL MAZION, Super Welterweight Prospect: "It's a natural thing for me to always be working out, so I feel amazing. The fight is going to be like another day in the gym and I'm going to perfect my craft in the ring and show everyone what I'm about. I expect to be given a tough fight." ALEX RINCON, Super Welterweight Prospect: "I feel great and I'm 110% ready for the fight. Me and my brother are going to put a great show at home. We are going for the win and the knockout."
